Pitbull my choice.
Also BMC/pit good catch dog.
Have seen pits used as rcd, used only when you got a running hog.

I dont run pits often either i used to run a 1/2 pit 1/2 lab before he died.
Now i run a mt. cur and she doesnt know the meaning to the word quit..

THe dad of him is Cotton who is one of Krystals Amerigos.The mom, Im not sure who or what she is I know she was mostly AB if not all AB, Krystal would know more than me. I was told thats what his main blood stream was, but there may be a hint of something else in him (I think at one time someone told me the mom has a hint of mastiff or Great dane in her, but dont quote me on that).    THere were only two puppies left out of the litter due to worms and he was in bad shape when we got him. I believe he is the only one left of his litter.

Courtney,

I'm pretty sure Jags momma is an AB named Daisy who is owned by Daylan (BrushRunner)  she's a real good catchdog as well.

Jags momma was a mastiff AB cross

 I agree clay.    I got a rcd.  I thought was junk some people still think so.  If a big hog don't try to run she won't catch. Till she sees me or it tries to run  Any thing under 200 she wil catch asap. Can't cull a dog for being smart or I can't.  Some think it's a fault I don't

I am 100% pit man. I like a dog that turns on quick. Most of the times when I am looking for a catchdog I need one that will work right then. As far as the comments about a pit not having the size, speed or brains or being able to hold a big hog and control it then you guys are not looking very hard.

[TieEmUpOrLeaveEm]

Ill have to go with the pits. My grandpa has been hog hunting over 50 years thats all he has ever used. We have keep the same breed for over 20 years. I ride 2 pits in with all my bay dogs and after i catch a hog and get them back i can put two of my males on a double snap. And yes I have culled some but I have culled twice as many curs and other breeds for fighting! Theres to many of the fighting blood geting strown out and thats most of your smaller pits, from my personal experience stay away from the smaller beady eyed pits. Ill say this and ive said it a million times anyone who dont know nothing about a pit does not need one!!!!!!!!

First we have a RCD that is 1/2 pit 1/2 lab and she is hog crazy....she has the heart and brains of a lab (which in my opinion you cant beat) and the pure strength of a pit

Second we also have a 1/2 dogo 1/2 pit pup he is only 3 months old and he is already crazy about hogs...we made this cross for again the brain and nose of the dogo and the pure strength of the pit...we have high hopes for him

I feel like pits have great strength and drive but i like them better when their mixed because i feel like they can be hard headed sometimes...don't get me wrong im not trying to say pits are stupid but i like to mix them with dogs that are known for their intelligence...JMO

We have tried other mixes including am bulldogs, pits, etc but these 2 are our favorite!

i had litters mixed up.  sorry, seems lance falzone owns a pup out of the litter i was talking about. 

[courtneywidacki]

UPDATE!!!!!

 My apolgogies, I found out Jags other litter mate is alive and well. I have not seen pictures, but Im sure he looks great.
Also, Im not sure where we picked Jag up at when he was a puppie (I wasnt there) and still dont know for sure who the mom is. She belonged to someone else in another city from someone I dont know.
However, I know who the dad is, Cotton (Krystals Amerigo), and I would get another puppy of his anyday. He has thrown some beautiful, hog catching, smart, sweet puppies.

I dont know who took the above picture but they deserve an award.  They cut off the ugliest part of this picture.  A foot higher and it would have ruined it.  LOL

I hope to one day have the opportunity to see this legend, "Cotton", everyone speaks so highly of, and his owner, catch a hog.

I thought the same thing Derek would have ruined that pic.

[3-Bdogs]

pits mainly cause i raise em but out of all the dogs ive owned pits have always been the most loyal to me

[Piglywigly]

Catdo, Pitt, AB, etc...

Easiest to get and cheap.

I like a Pitt myself. Talk about hold a hog. Easy to replace and start.

[cetchdawg]

Beejay I will admit I own a half pit half. Ridgeback.    Now sayin that. I am about to breed most of the pit out of her.  Going to breed her to a one out. Great Dane.    No pit I have ever seen will be able to keep up with that dog.      I also use a half dogo half American bulldog   I got high hopes for the breedin on my pit ridgeback

I also had a pit ridge back !!! I can promise you that was the smartest dog in the woods and at home ..........  !!!Great with kids and VERY loyal !! and would find a hog and hang on even itf the damn thing was as big as a house !!!

Really , the best dog ever . I ended up not hunting him anymore cause my neighbor poisoned all my dogs and he got it the worst! got sick and had grand mal seizures all the time and eventually i had to put him down !!  needless to say I do not have that neighbor anymore !!!  


I run rcd catahulas now catch as hard as any pit ive had but have a lil more  stamina IMO

[hogslayer6]

on breeds as a whole PITS, PITS, PITS, and i say agian PITS. now im not a rcd man by any means i want my bay dogs to stop it and hold it thats what they get fed to do so pits for me. i've never had any problem's out of em but ive seen gritty bmc, american's, mastiffs, and all crosses let go for another bite and lose the hog. my pit gets there he doesnt let go the hog has to scarifice an ear to get him off thats the kind i want

[levibarcus]

I was excited to see a couple of people talk about pit/lab catch dogs. I have a female pit that I was about to start when she got bred by the neighbors lab. The pups are three weeks old today, and are marked like pits, a couple of blue females, spotted, tan, brown, and my favorite, white with black ears and a black dot above his tail. There are seven of them, I'll be getting rid of some of them in a few weeks, but kind of want to see the bitch work before I do. She's seen hogs once in a trap, and skinned her nose up on the wire trying to get to them. If she works, I may keep a couple to raise for catch dogs. One thing I like about her is that she is really low key, and easy going, gets along with anything.  Anyone who has experience with this cross, I'd love to hear how they worked.
